Google Earth

Our class on the 9th was canceled due to an impending snow storm. However, we received emails about a new computer program we were asked to explore on our own. I downloaded Google Earth on my laptop at home and began to read about the different usages of it. I was able to locate different cities across the world and see actual close up visuals. This program would be very useful to use in the classroom. While teaching a geography or history class, I would use this program to help the students see real world photos of places we are learning about. This program would help the students get a better idea of locations of different countries and cities by using hand on exploring.
